I install Oracle8 enterprise edition on a standalone PC running Nt4 workstation named 'francis'(I skip creating the default database ORCL). After installation, I try to test the environment by starting the listener. However, this is the error I got:

Connecting to <ADDRESS=<PROTOCOL=TCP><HOST=francis><Port=1521> TNS-12224: TNS:no listener
  TNS-15241: TNS:no listener

     TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
        TNS:00511: No listener
           32-bit Windows Error: 61: Unknown system error

I try to run the command ping 127.0.0.1 and it looks ok. I also check that the Oracle TCP/IP Protocol Adapter is also installed. Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?
